Bug Description

The default output location used by ubuntu-image is ./disk.img. This default location is also used by the testsuite; with the result that running the testsuite in the working directory will nuke a previously created image.

Especially annoying when you've run 'sudo kpartx -a disk.img', since AFAIK there's no way short of a reboot to remove the mapping with 'sudo kpartx -d' after the file has been removed.
